PSE&G and out-of-state working crews are currently on Mount Lucas Road attempting to fix power lines and restore power to the area.
Mount Lucas Road is temporarily closed between Poor Farm Road and Campbell Woods Way. Once power is restored to that area, the crews will reopen and close off the section between Campbell Woods Way and Ewing Street.
Mount Lucas Road is expected to completely reopen later this afternoon.
Motorists are advised to be aware of the temporary detour/closure and local residents will be permitted to enter and leave their residences if they reside within the work zone.
